Perhaps a gentlemen's agreement can be arranged? Consider the map, and I shall consider the game?

Dear Sir, I ogled at you map for quite a while. My peculiar curiosity was roused, if you excuse my strong language.

We would be honored to use your map in our game. I also took the freedom of signing you up. The presence of such a industrious gentleman as yourself will do the game only good.

Perhaps you'd like to play underwater nation? Their survival rate is quite high, allowing you to experience quite a lot of the game. There are good guides for MA R'lyeh & Atlantis.

For all those concencerned about your roleplaying capabilities, don't sweat over it. The theme is not supposed to be *that* serious. It's just good set-up for jokes.

To talk like a true gentlman, Thesaurus is a good tool. Just type the word you are about to say and just use the most verbose synonym thesaurus offers instead. Calling people "chaps" also works.

This venture sounds most promising indeed. My monocle has been gathering dust for quite some time, but I do believe it's time to don it once again.

Since the people of Vanheim do not yet appear to have proper representation in this righteous quarrel, I humbly submit myself as overlord in their quest for victory and honour.

Jolly good!

If it pleases the assembly, I humbly submit version 0.1 of the aforementioned map for review by the gentlemen gathered. Mind you it is by no means a finished product, and I ask these most learned scholars to test it for connectivity/province mask irregularities:
Islands and Tunnels v0.1.zip

I graciously accept the opportunity to be the first gentleman to honor his agreements: I choose Arcoscephale. After all, what could be more civilized then a proud phalanx of hoplites marching in good order to meet the enemy?

I must inform you, however, that I will be traveling this Wednesday to Sunday. I suspect it shan't effect our start date, and will post on this thread once I've established a viable connection, but if you don't hear from me, kindly hold the start until Sunday evening USA time (or midnight Monday in Mother England, God Save the Queen).

Post feedback on the map! Don't be afraid to say it's crap and unusable!

Il est fort agréable de voir qu'il existe d'autres gentilshommes aussi bien instruits dans notre belle langue.

I actually considered playing R'lyeh before asking for suggestions. I never played an underwater nation, and astral magic and tentactles somewhat fit my current mood. I'll take R'lyeh then.
